May an attorney who is also a Municipal Judge reflect that he is a Judge on his
professional card by showing thereon Judge __________, with his address thereafter?

Opinion

Canon 39 provides that the professional card of a
member may with propriety contain only a statement of the member's name (and the names of
lawyers associated with him), profession, address, telephone number and special branches
of the profession practiced. The use of the word Judge before the name of the attorney on
his professional card would be something in addition not permitted by Canon 39. Such would
also be self-laudation prohibited by Canon 24. See Opinions 11, 209
and 306. See also ABA Informal Opinion 1006.
